I downloaded about 5 different apps at the same time to see which was best to start revising with.
This one was by far the easiest to use with great features such as talk back and the design is not cluttered or complicated like some of the other apps I tried. It's easy to add questions and you can read from back to front to test your knowledge even further. I'm using it to revise a law exam and it's great to put a case on one side and the decision on the other. Finally I can get rid of all my paper notes and use this for my revision!

Mconnor105, Great app, but spaced repetition would make it even better This is my preferred flashcard app - the best I've seen so far. 'Anki' is too clunky and has a cheap and nasty UI. 'Brainscape' has good spaced repetition functionality but is waaaaaay overpriced.
This app is very effective for studying and memorising with a nice looking UI. It has been improved greatly as time has gone by (like adding a folder structure to better organise decks) but I can still only give 4 stars as it's lacking one vital feature - spaced repetition.
A Mac version would also be great, but confidence-based spaced repetition functionality similar to Brainscape would earn it 5 stars.

Dizzykiki, Really struggling to use it This was the best flashcard app I found, but it repeatedly seizes up and stops working when I press ‘done’ to save my cards. Before today it would usually eventually sort itself out and I could move on, but today it has seized up and stopped working every time I tried to enter anything. Each time it hasn’t sorted itself out and I’ve had to shut the app down and lost all the cards I was trying to create.
Every single time. I really don’t want to give up on it because I have so many cards on it now, but at the moment it’s basically unusable for entering new cards.

By. Welcome to our top iPhone app roundup for 2018! We’ve scoured the app store to find the most essential iPhone apps every student needs and can use right now (and not only iPhone apps — most of our recommendations have Android, Windows, and MacOS variants). These apps cover a spectrum of uses, from scheduling to graphing calculators, from privacy to note-taking tools. We believe every app on this list is useful for students and scholars, from high school to graduate school. And many will prove useful even beyond school. Your phone is more than a communications and social media selfie-sharing device.
It’s also a portal to a world of data, information, knowledge, and even wisdom. It’s a portable learning laboratory, a mobile classroom, and a virtual mentor ready 24/7 to drill the most arcane and seemingly trivial knowledge skills into your mind until you achieve mastery. While providing an obvious channel to entertainment, these bricks of silicon and electrons can also open portals to enlightenment, mastery, and life-change. Just maybe not kung fu, unfortunately. Anyhow, free your mind while we take a quick stroll through the app store.
⁂ Don’t Be Late Publisher: Platform(s): Price: Free $2.99 Sometimes managing a college schedule feels like you’re directing a monkey riot. To stay above it all, you need more than a calendar app: you need a coursework information manager. That’s where iStudiez shines. Widely regarded as an essential planning tool for students from high-school to graduate school, iStudiez boasts an easy-to-use interface, integrates your personal life via Google Calendar and iCal integration, and perfectly syncs across multiple platforms. The free Lite version is a touch underpowered, but give it a try before laying out some coin. Considering the money and time you’re already investing in your education, a solid planning app may be the first resource you want to level-up.
Publisher: Platform(s): Price: Free $3.99/Month $24.99/Year Also known as “Pocket Informant,” this is the app your dad’s calendar dreamed of one day becoming. Sure, it comes with the usual stable of features: a calendar with events, tasks, and rich text notes. But let’s throw in unlimited calendars, integration with Apple and Google calendars, integration with Google Tasks and Toodledo, add a contact database, checklists, and the ability to filter tasks based on projects. You want voice activation for new events? How about syncing across devices (iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad), and syncing with Evernote?
Yep, gotcha covered! Informant isn’t custom-tailored to the needs of students, but if you already have a busy schedule outside of school, or plan to still Get Things Done after graduating, this may be a better long-term choice. Features:. Natural language “Quick Add” feature.
Collaborate on projects with team members. Assign tasks to teammates. Comment on tasks, attach PDFs, images, documents, etc. Available as an app or extension on 10+ platforms.
More than 60 app integrations (Dropbox, Amazon Alexa, Zapier, IFTTT, Slack, etc.). Real-time synchronization across all devices. Free forever with the option to upgrade to Todoist Premium. Get alerts & reminders via email or push notifications. Powerful labeling and filtering toolset Cons:. Task labels & reminders are a premium feature.
Task comments & file uploads are a premium feature. You can’t bulk edit projects, tasks, labels, etc. Layout is beautiful, but not always intuitive in terms of usability Offload Your Brain Publisher: Platform(s): Price: Free $34.99/Year Evernote is your brain, online. Fans and evangelists of this note-taking tool swear by its life-changing ability to ease the mental strain of having to remember everything — or perhaps anything? To take full advantage of Evernote’s power as a student, think of this as more than a note-taking app. It’s far more than a cloud-based rich-text editor. Each document you create in Evernote can be a collection of tasks, action-items, checklists, notes, attachments, dates (due date, date-created, etc.), URLs, voice recordings, hand-drawn illustrations, and other metadata.
And all of it is cross-linkable, searchable, and synchronized with the cloud and all your devices. If you’re looking for a way to make all your course notes linkable, searchable, and easy-to-access (and share!), Evernote is more than capable. The next time you’re curating hundreds of Web pages, peer-reviewed abstracts, obscure blog asides, and the odd Reddit thread, Evernote stands ready to archive every morsel of data for later collation and citation. When you’re ready for it, though, Evernote stands ready to grow to meet your academic needs — and will continue to grow with you post-graduation. Features:.
Great search tool with numerous filtering options. Great desktop clients in addition to Web app. Capture anything: Notes, words, images, drawings and sketches, scanned documents, checklists, to-do lists, audio, video, web clippings, and more. Save it and forget it.
Evernote will remember it for you. Share and collaborate on content within folders. Set due dates and reminders. Can password lock individual items, or even text within an item. Search within OCRd content including scanned receipts, images, and PDFs Cons:. The folder/subfolder hierarchy is finite. You can only go, at most, two levels deep.
Tag management can be a little cumbersome if you wind up mis-tagging content, you’ll miss critical associations. No obvious way to set up recurring due dates.
Rich text editor can sometimes get wonky when you copy-and-paste content from the Web. Offline access a premium feature only.
Free plans no longer allow email-to-notes. Search inside Office docs and attachments a premium feature only. Evernote’s future as a company seems uncertain at times Publisher: Platform(s): Price: Free Virtually everything said about Evernote, above, can be said about Microsoft’s OneNote app. They are true competitors in every way. There are obvious interface differences, of course. Evernote’s rich-text formatting is simpler (and perhaps cleaner) than OneNote, but OneNote will integrate better with all your Microsoft Office apps (if that’s your thing). So, when it comes to moving content from your OneNote archive into the Master’s thesis you’ve been crafting in Word, OneNote will fare better.
Plus, biggest bonus of all, OneNote is free. And after you graduate, any organization or institution you work for will likely already be using OneNote as part of their standard Office installation. Evernote led the cloud-based note-taking race for a long time. But in the past few years, Microsoft has made significant progress catching up. Features:. Computed reports based on generally trusted sources. Math and graphing outputs built on over a quarter-century of app development.
Good enough for Siri. Access thousands of domains (and growing) of curated knowledge Cons:. Sometimes seems slow. Free information is good, but you always bump up against the Premium offering.
There’s little guidance on how to structure your query to get the best results. Exporting options are limited Publisher: Platform(s): Price: Free $3.99 I’m a lifelong native English speaker with arguably many decades of fluency to my credit. However, one of the first tools I install on any of my computing devices, whether it’s a mobile device, a laptop, or a desktop workstation, is a robust dictionary app. I find a good dictionary with a deep database to be indispensable when perusing material written above my understanding or just to check myself.
(Have you ever looked up the definition and history of a word or phrase, just to see if you truly understand its meaning? Be careful, it can lead you down a rabbit hole!) A lot of the free dictionaries available in the app store are based on older, infrequently updated word lists and public-domain definitions.
And most lack even the most rudimentary etymological or usage data. Dictionary.com, however, comes loaded with two million definitions. The basic app is ad-supported, and remains free, and provides you with a search history, word origins and word history, synonyms, antonyms, a thesaurus, and so on.
You will be quite satisfied with this app even if you have to tolerate ads, but if you do level up, you get a medical dictionary, encyclopedia, and a few extra goodies. Dictionary.com’s content largely comes from the Random House Unabridged Dictionary along with content from the American Heritage dictionary and Harper Collins. You or your institution might prefer some other dictionary as an authoritative source for citations, or for style, but for personal use nobody beats Dictionary.com and its set of free features. Features:. Word of the Day. Audio pronunciations. Voice search.
Quiz widget. Word origin and history. Favorite words and search history. English Spelling help. See words searched by location. Learner’s dictionary.
Optimized for Apple Watch! Cons:. The ads can be super annoying Publisher: Platform(s): Price: Free $4.99 Every school I’ve ever attended, from grade school to graduate school, and every organization I’ve ever worked for (save one) relied on Merriam-Webster as the standard and authoritative reference on all things lexical. Most folks on the street will trust a definition sourced from within a red-and-white Merriam-Webster tome. It’s a part of the American heritage and woven into our DNA: In 1806, Noah Webster published his first dictionary and over two hundred years later, few things in this country are older than a book with his name on it. A Merriam-Webster dictionary on a school desk is about as quintessentially American as apple pie and baseball on a Saturday afternoon.
So, why fight the system? Your instructor wants to know that you know what Merriam-Webster says a word means. Get the app, and I promise you won’t regret it. Even the free version is packed with great features, despite the ads. (And even then, getting rid of the ads costs less than a decent espresso.). Features:.
VGA Output. 2D & 3D equation plotting. Common equation library.
Wireframe and solid visualization. Support for Cartesian, polar, cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems. In-app email so you can share graphics and equations.
Save to photo library. Copy to clipboard. Enhanced equation visualization.
Hyperbolic and Inverse functions. More seriously Cons:. Those who claim to know what they’re talking about report nothing negative.
I’m suspicious. Publisher: Platform(s): Price: $2.99 You’re stuck in a system of rigid hierarchies and impenetrable style guides with arcane rules that seem to serve little or no purpose.
Welcome to academia! You need to know how to cite your sources. And different fields of study tend to prefer one style over another — there’s no guarantee that mastering one citation style will suffice for your entire academic career. Whether your poison is the American Psychological Association (APA, think behavioral sciences students), the Modern Language Association of America (MLA, think language and literature students), or The Chicago Manual of Style/Turabian (Chicago/Turabian, think humanities, journalism, or probably anybody attending the University of Chicago, or anyone getting published), without guidance, you will wind up a gibbering mess by the end of your paper. EasyBib is here to save your bacon.
Don’t question it. Just feed it citations and obey its directives until you learn the proper forms. You’ll be glad you did. Features:. More than ten years of citation generation. Accurate citations checked by librarians and teachers. Create citations by scanning book barcodes.
Use search to create citations for books and websites. Export to email. Switch between MLA, APA, Chicago, Harvard, and over 7,000 citation styles, including ASA, AMA, CSE, and ACS formats. Fifty-six different source types (databases, newspapers, etc.) Cons:.
iPhone app is not as full-featured as the website. Developer is not very active. As of this writing, the app was last updated in September, 2017. No default iOS actions to send a webpage to the app to automatically create a citation Backpack in the Cloud Publisher: Platform(s): Price: Free $1.99/Month/100GB Look, if you’re not a Microsoft Office user, you’re probably a Google Apps user, and the Venn diagram visualizing those who use both is a very large intersection.
However, as Google has gotten better and better at providing a fully cloud-based app environment, more people are turning to Google as their operating system of choice, even if they don’t realize it. If you use Gmail and Google Calendar, you’re already using Google Drive even if you’re not thinking about it. You might as well embrace the zeitgeist and use Google Drive to store ALL the things! The nice thing about using Google Drive to store everything, even your Microsoft Office documents, is that the Google apps can still read them. Plus there are a gazillion app integrations that allow you to access your Google Drive as though it was built in to the app. The other nice thing about using Google Drive to store your documents is you never again have to worry about losing that thumb drive with the only copy of your class presentation on it — worth only about half your grade! Features:.
View documents, PDFs, photos, videos, etc. Features:. Easily search for textbooks by title, author, ISBN or by scanning a barcode.
Buy or rent textbooks cheaply. After ordering, get seven-day free instant access to your eTextbook Cons:. Broke students were so delighted to save money, they forgot to complain. Publisher: Platform(s): Price: Free You have access to a library, in fact you probably have access to two or more library systems: Your university library, your local public library system, and your home-town public library system.
Any one of these libraries may have just the textbook you need to get your cramming session done, or maybe you just want to take a long, sad, country drive while listening to Frank McCourt’s audiobook of Angela’s Ashes. A lot of people simply don’t know that they can check out books from their local library using OverDrive. And, yes, it seems crazy, but there is literally a finite inventory of ebooks and audiobooks, so it’s possible for all the copies of the latest Lee Child novel to be checked out for the next several weeks. So, if you need a book and one library doesn’t have it, check all the library systems you have permission to access through the app. Features:.
Available 24/7. No more late fees. Titles are automatically returned. Place holds, create wish lists, and return titles easily.
Sync libraries, bookmarks, and recent positions across devices Cons:. No more late fees. Titles are automatically returned.
A valid account with a participating library, school, or other institution is required. Each library builds its own collection of titles. It’s not Kindle.
As with any library book, you can only keep what’s in your head Publisher: Platform(s): Price: Free Look, I love the feel, the smell, and the pulpy heft of bound papers when I dive into a good book, but the truth is, they’re heavy and they add up. When I was a freshman, everything I owned fit comfortably into the back-seat of a two-door Mustang. By the time I left grad-school, I needed a U-Haul — and most of that was books. And still is, even today. Embrace your digital revolution.
Remember that every book you own brings certain costs with it: you are paying its rent for the space it takes up in your home, it consumes fuel every time you transport it from one home to another, it shames you every time you look at the spine and wonder why you haven’t read it yet. The more you have, the more the costs pile up, year after year. So, trust me, invest now in your youth and save yourself the backache of moving the thousands of books you’ll fall in love with from home to home, from state to state, and cross-country. You see a book you want to read? Buy the Kindle edition, and know that it’s there at your fingertips literally any time you want it. And you can annotate it, highlight it, and even export those highlights for your amusement or for that literary analysis you’ve been working on. Features:.
700+ servers. 35+ server locations Cons:. Records a lot of session data according to reports — more data than what most competitors collect Publisher: Platform(s): Price: Free 4€/Month ProtonVPN deserves a place here because of all the best VPN services out there, it is a well-regarded VPN, and it has an unheard of free offering! Admittedly, it’s going to feel a bit like you’re the digital turtle trying to cross the highway on a banana peel, but if you can’t afford a premium VPN and you still must use that dirty, nasty, old public WiFi at the taco shack behind the bus stop, then at the very least get yourself signed up for ProtonVPN. And change your passwords!
